Chapter 307: Economic Crisis (13)

"Our kingdom once thought it was clever and offended the kingdom of God, and this is the sin of our kingdom. However, the kingdom of heaven is the Celestial Empire, and the gas is magnificent. We implore the kingdom to help us get rid of the Frangible people regardless of our past suspicions. As stated by the Kingdom of God, the officials of the towns in the north were appointed by the Kingdom of God, and the Kingdom of Japan will definitely comply with it this time. The Vietnamese envoy's tone was sincere, tears streaming down his face, and the cuckoo pleaded like blood.

Foreign Minister Li Xin was a little moved, but that was to the extent that he was a little moved. The Ruan Dynasty has already skipped the ticket, and no one in the Central Committee of the Restoration Party believes that the Ruan Dynasty Imperial Court will sincerely agree to this matter this time. What's more, in the past, the Liberation Party was still relatively young, and it felt that after politically influencing the Nguyen Dynasty, it would be able to obtain benefits from the top down. The current Liberation Party does not see it that way, and China's demand for Vietnam is only rice and the Hongji coal mine. The Hung Kai coal mine has already fallen into China's pocket, and as long as there is no problem with the supply of rice, China will not demand more from Vietnam in the short term. Now that there are so many things in China, where do you still have the heart to care about other people's affairs.

Seeing Li Xin's untouched expression, the Vietnamese envoy had tears in his eyes and said loudly: "If the kingdom is willing to send troops, we will pay for the army, and we will give it first!" ”

As a former minister of commerce, Li Xin has a little feeling for this. "It's better to fight with people who understand, than to say a word with fools." France is indeed a big badass, they invade, they expand, they harm China's interests. However, France is a person who understands, and Li Xin's conversation with the French ambassador is full of naked interest games. Unless it is a long-term strategic choice, Li Xin will never tell the French ambassador that China's future goal is to completely drive France out of the Western Pacific. Of course, the French ambassador will not tell Li Xin about how France thinks about a military attack on China.

As soon as the country was switched to feudalism, this discussion became meaningless. Vietnam was worried about what China would do if it took advantage of the French invasion, and Li Xin could certainly figure it out. At this time, Li Xin thought that the best way was to kneel on the ground honestly, and said calmly: "What economic requirements does the kingdom have for us, let's discuss it!" "Because what China wants to do, Vietnam can't stop it at all. Now the Vietnamese side has a bit of a correct attitude, and Li Xin decided to talk to someone.

Rum, Jinhua ham, salted pepper phoenix feet, dried anchovies. This kind of occasion is suitable for eating and chatting, and canned fruits, yellow peaches, pineapples, and seasonal fruits are absolutely indispensable. Chocolate and hard-boiled eggs are indispensable. Of course, although there are many patterns, the amount is not large. Foreign Minister Li Xinzuodong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the Central Bank Wang Mingshan, and Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Commerce Liu Yonghe occupied a good chat position in the Bauhinia Mountain Garden dedicated to civil servants.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has abundant funds, and the things that entertain foreign envoys are better than those of the Ministry of Commerce." Liu Yonghe, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Commerce, quipped.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely remember who invited this meal. The ICAC is not a vegetarian, and if I dare to invite everyone to come, we must have our own preparations. Li Xin said unmoved.

"Cut, I'm not afraid of you." Wang Mingshan sat down with a big grin as he spoke, poured a glass of rum and poured it first, then picked up a piece of yellow peach and ate it.

All three of them are from Anhui, and Liu Yonghe is also from Hui, and there are many cadres from Anhui in the central government, except for Liangguang. Among the younger generation of cadres, the proportion of Anhui cadres is quite high.

"I have an idea I want to ask you two for." Li Xin said.

"Business or private?" Liu Yonghe also began to eat and drink at this time.

"Business." Li Xin replied.

"Oh?" Liu Yonghe couldn't help frowning, this kind of time is actually quite suitable for talking about official business, but when he invited two people from the Ministry of Commerce and the People's Bank of China to talk about official business, Liu Yonghe couldn't remember for a while that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and these two departments had any official business to talk about.

"Is it your Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or are you doing business for someone else?" Wang Mingshan asked.

Li Xin sneered, "Cut, it's still a private matter to say business for others, I won't come to you two for other people's private affairs." ”

Over the past few years, the central authorities have issued more than a dozen strict orders not to allow various ministries and commissions to lobby on behalf of others, and many people have also been dealt with. Hearing that Li Xin was not stupid, Wang Mingshan smiled and said: "Is your Ministry of Foreign Affairs ready to open a bank?" ”

Li Xin didn't react to Wang Mingshan's joke at all, he said with a straight face: "I have an idea this time, but I can't figure it out myself, so I have to ask the two of you to help me sort it out." ”

Three hours later, Wang Mingshan rubbed the bridge of his nose with his eyes closed, Liu Yonghe rubbed his temples with his eyes closed, and Li Xin put away the paper on which he had written a lot of opinions. The three-hour intense discussion made the three ministerial-level cadres feel very tired.

Wang Mingshan sighed first, and then said: "I think this plan is good, and the governor should seriously consider it." But in this way, the strategy is different. ”

Liu Yonghe picked up the wine glass and was about to pour another sip, but he thought about it and put the wine glass down again, and poured honey and grapefruit water into the teacup. After draining half a cup in one gulp, Liu Yonghe said: "I can't talk about this issue in front of the governor, it involves too much. However, if the governor holds a meeting, I will definitely express my opinion in favor of it. ”

Li Xin asked: "Do you want to make the plan more detailed?" ”

Liu Yonghe shook his head, "I can't go into detail, how can I have a detailed way to do such a big thing?" This is an inter-ministerial effort. ”

Without waiting for Li Xin to speak, Wang Mingshan said: "I also think it's enough to write to this extent, don't underestimate the governor, the governor often understands in his heart that he doesn't say it." Explain the plan, and even if the governor disagrees, he will explain it to you. ”

With the support of two ministerial-level cadres, Li Xin finally had some self-confidence. He got up and said, "Then let's disperse, I'll go to the governor now." I can't take it, who will pack these things and take them away? ”

"I have a lot of children, I'll take them." Wang Mingshan said with a smile. Liu Yonghe also smiled: "No problem, I'll pack it next time and take it away." ”

Li Xin knows the meaning of this, whoever packs it and takes it away will have a treat next time. It seems that Wang Mingshan and Liu Yonghe don't just want to talk about it once.

Straighten your clothes and take a few steps forward. Li Xin suddenly heard Wang Mingshan say in the back: "Li Xin, I'm optimistic about you!" ”

Li Xin didn't look back, just raised his right arm and waved his hand. With a little bit of alcohol and the courage to go to war, he strode towards the entrance of the park.

Li Xin first relayed the request of the Vietnamese side to Wei Ze, and Wei Ze was happy after listening to Li Xin's story, and he smiled and said: "Li Xin, how much do you think Vietnam can spend?" ”

Li Xin said seriously: "I think we should make Vietnam an economic subsidiary of China, and it is good to occupy Cochin County, but this will make foreigners feel that we are negotiable in China on the issue of sphere of influence." I've heard that the French also sell in Vietnam, and if we can squeeze the French out of the Vietnamese market and let us monopolize Vietnam's trade, we can make even more. ”

Wei Ze nodded slightly, economic colonization is something that the United States likes to do, and Wei Ze thinks it's very good. Li Xin's proposal didn't know if it was a thought of patting his head because of feelings, or if he had some thoughts about planning. In short, Wei Ze agreed with Li Xin's idea. Wei Ze felt that letting the Minister of Commerce be the Minister of Foreign Affairs was really a good thing that came by chance, and if Zuo Zhidan continued to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he would not have made such a suggestion under any circumstances.

Seeing that Wei Ze's expression was very agreeable, Li Xin also came to his emotions, and he continued: "Dudu, I think the most important thing is that we can ask Vietnam to use our currency. In recent years, we have to pay silver dollars to Vietnam to buy grain from Vietnam, and Vietnam itself has many restrictions on buying our goods, and we have not been able to make any money on the whole. If Vietnam uses our currency, this commodity will circulate faster, and we can also open banks in Vietnam so that Vietnamese people can deposit their money in our banks. At that time, we will only get bigger and bigger......"

Listening to Li Xin's fairly complete proposal to control Vietnam economically, Wei Ze's face became serious, and he stared at Li Xin, which startled Li Xin. With a feeling of anxiety, Li Xin asked, "Dudu, I just have such thoughts, and I am not thoughtful. What is your opinion. ”

"I completely agree with you!" Wei Ze said word by word, "This is not only done in Vietnam, but also in Goryeo!" You go to the Ministry of Commerce now and ask the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to jointly put together this new treaty, including the two treaties of Vietnam and Goryeo. ”

Li Xin was more confident when discussing with Wang Mingshan and Liu Yonghe, but he didn't expect his suggestion to be so highly praised by Wei Ze, because of excitement, Li Xin's face turned red. He stood up straight and said to Wei Ze, "Dudu, I'll do it now!" ”

After Li Xin left, Wei Ze also felt very happy. In recent years, his attention has been focused on the military field, as well as the technical field related to the military field, and has precisely neglected the economic field. Economic activity affects a country more than anything else, while finance is able to completely control a country. Once China's banking sector became the controller of the monetary realm of Vietnam and Goryeo, China effectively controlled Vietnam and Goryeo. This is a fact proved by countless blood in the 20th and 21st centuries, why did Weese ignore it?

Cadres like Wang Mingshan and Pang Congcong have already appeared in the central government, and more outstanding young people have emerged at this time, which can also be said that a new wave of young people has finally begun to appear. With these young people, the old guys will also give way. At least after letting the old guys give way, Wei Ze is not weak at all.

The joint working group of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs completed the drafting of the new treaty with astonishing efficiency, and Weeser also completed with astonishing efficiency the adoption of the plan for military action within the Military Commission. This time, the French sent four or five thousand men to attack Vietnam, and this little force had no problem in attacking Vietnam and conquering Hanoi. But it is still far from completely occupying Vietnam with this force. Now that China has found a policy to extract more benefits from Vietnam, beating the French is the easiest job.

The Military Commission was just worried that the French would not react more violently, and at this time the British were stirring up trouble around China, and after beating the French, would the British completely stand by and watch?

Wei Ze said with a tough attitude: "You can't be beaten so passively against the British, it is also a knife to stretch out your head, and it is also a knife to shrink your head." If we seek peace through struggle, we will survive peacefully, and if we seek peace through compromise, we will die peacefully. ”

After hearing this, no one in the Military Commission raised any objections.
